Publication ensures that the results of any research effort are permanently recorded. Studies that are not published do not contribute to scientific progress and therefore benefit almost no one. Although the most important aspect of any scientific manuscript is the quality of the ideas and the data that are being presented, how they are presented determines not only whether they are understood but even whether anyone reads about them. The “how” encompasses both writing style and what the authors of this book refer to as “publication style.”
